"My Dear, bestowing the greatest fortune that is attained after so many
births, exalted souls come to this world and live here by singing and
spreading Your nectarean glories that are life and soul for those suffering
in this material world being devoid of Your divine love; that are the gist of
all poets' songs; that are the destroyer of all sins; that benefit anyone who
hears them; and that possess universal attraction."

Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita, Madhya-lila, 14.13

Mahaprabhu rescued Prataparudra with this sloka: He embraced the king with
the words, "Who is the 'bhurida', the greatest donor in this world? Those who
distribute the Holy Names, Krishna's Names in this world, are the greatest
donors. You are the bhurida!"

Another time, Pradyumna Misra came to Mahaprabhu and asked, "Prabhu, can You
speak some Krishna-katha?" Mahaprabhu replied, "I do not know so much, but
Ramananda Ray knows more than Me," and sent him to Ramananda Ray.

When Pradyumna Misra came to the house of Ramananda Ray, he was busy: he was
training the servitors of Jagannath (young girls from 13 to 19 years old). He
taught them everything: how to dance, how to wear a sari, etc.

Pradyumna Misra was sitting and waiting when a servant came out and informed
him that at that time Ramananda Ray was very busy in the garden, teaching the
girls dancing. Pradyumna Misra did not like it so much, so he left and went
back to Mahaprabhu. Mahaprabhu asked him,

"So, have you heard Krishna-katha?"

"Prabhu, how? He was doing this and this, I do not like that..."

"You have made a mistake. Although I am a sannyasi, if I see a picture of a
woman, my mind can become disturbed, but Ramananda Ray does service with the
young ladies, dressing them, teaching them how to dance, etc. but he is not
an ordinary man—he is a Vraja gopi! [Ramananda Ray is an incarnation of
Visakha.] Go to him again."

The next day Pradyumna Misra went there again. This time, Ramananda Ray said
to him, "Oh, you came yesterday, but I did not get time to talk to you.
Please, forgive my offence. Tell me what you wanted to ask me." And Ramananda
Ray spoke the whole day and night—he even forgot to take prasadam.
Pradyumna Misra was very happy and surprised. When he came back to
Mahaprabhu, he said, "Prabhu, yes! You sent me to the right person! He only
knows Krishna, nothing else."

'We got many bodies in our previous lives, but why did we get a human
body? Before, Krishna sent me in a cat's body, in a dog's body, why did He
not send me in a cat's body this time? What is this life for? Eating,
sleeping, enjoying? Yes, enjoy, but enjoy with...'

'O Lord, although You are able to give all kinds of benedictions, I do not pray to you for the boon of impersonal liberation, nor the highest liberation of eternal life in Vaikuntha, nor any other boon [which may be obtained by executing the nine processes of bhakti]. O Lord, I simply wish that this form of Yours as Bala Gopala in Vrndavana may ever be manifest in my heart, for what is the use to me of any other boon besides this?'
